Pressure Regulator for Soaker Hoses

Does your garden faucet have high water pressure? You can still use an efficient low-pressure soaker hose system for watering your garden. This pressure regulator limits the inlet pressure to a soaker hose irrigation line to 10 PSI.

An inline 10 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure reducer is required for the SNIP-N-DRIP irregation system. This regulator reduces household water pressure to 10 psi and allows the use of correct water pressure. Quote from Gardeners Supply e-Mail: "... we recommend a pressure regulator that lowers it down to 10 psi. At this pressure, you should expect approximately 2 gallons per foot of hose per hour." Gardeners Supply Co., you must list this item on/in the ads for the soaker system. Thank you. System works well!

I installed an extensive soaker hose system to water my perennial beds as well as new landscaping in the front yard. These regulators allow me to preserve the integrity of the hoses while conserving tons of water. With the extreme drought we are all responsible for using less water and this really helps.

I was a little leery of these for no other reason than price. I am happy to say that all four preformed perfectly out of the box. I am using them on buried drip tape irrigation. To properly calculate the application rate it is imperative that they hold steady pressure. My supply is a well that fluctuates between 30 and 40 psi. The gauge on the header sits squarely on 10 psi and never moves. Very happy with this product so far, now only time will tell. I wish to thank the folks at Gardener's Supply as well. Due to the inability of another company's ability to deliver, I had to rush these. Gardener's delivered as promised and was very helpful with my inquires. Thanks again.
